In the late twelfth month of winter, heavy snow is flying outside the window.
Not long after, the servant came in with a hooded messenger.
As soon as the messenger reached the door, Zhou Qian couldn't wait to stand up and went to greet him.
"What on earth is going on? Is it so urgent? Could it be that the General is fighting with the Night King?
"That's not true." The messenger answered firmly, and took out a letter of salary and put it in front of Zhou Qian, "This is an urgent letter sent by General Zhu from his subordinates. As for what the matter is, the Prime Minister will know after he opens the letter.
know.
After hearing these words, Zhou Qian immediately made a guess, could it be something about Da Qi Gu Master?
When Daqi Gu Master comes from the south, he will naturally be blocked from Jinzhou. Could it be that he was caught by the Night King? If this is the case, it is not a big deal, after all, the master has already found a Gu Master.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qian's tense nerves relaxed a little, and his face looked much better.
Zhou Qian took the letter with doubts, turned back and walked towards the table, opening the letter as he walked.
However, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind his head. After all, he still had the reaction of a martial artist, so he hurriedly dodged. The next second, a gleaming sword passed by his arm, and his arm almost missed it.
The child was cut off.
A piece of the thick coat was cut off by the razor-sharp blade, revealing his snow-white arms.
Zhou Qian was horrified and immediately realized that he had been tricked. He threw the letter away and struck back with his sword.
"Who is this person? Dare to attack me? You don't want to live anymore." He shouted angrily, and at the same time ordered his men, "Hurry up and call someone to capture this villain who assassinated the court official."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister." His subordinates responded and ran out of the house in a panic.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw the guards outside surrounded by soldiers. He trembled with fright and quickly returned to the house.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, something is wrong. The Imperial Guards are surrounding you outside.
The Royal Guards? Why are the Royal Guards here? Could it be that the Empress Dowager wants to take this opportunity to eradicate me?
Zhou Qian frowned in confusion and sighed to himself. If he was caught like this, if he wiped off the disguise on his face, wouldn't he be exposed?
Better to run away quickly.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qian didn't dare to fight, so he grabbed an opening and kicked off the table, soaring into the sky, directly breaking through the roof.
After getting on the roof, I glanced down and saw that the Imperial Guards were everywhere with swords and guns, and they had already surrounded the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
"It's over~~" Zhou Qian lamented desperately, and his first thought was to escape.
However, just as he was about to use Qinggong to fly away, a rope was thrown from underneath and wrapped around his ankles with a whoosh, and then he was pulled down from the roof with a crash.
Zhou Qian smashed the table over and fell to the ground unable to move.
At this time, more than a dozen guards gathered around and pointed their swords at him.
Zhou Qian had porridge splashed all over his face and raised his eyes with a look of embarrassment.
At this sight, his face turned pale with fright. He pointed at the man standing in front of him and said indifferently: "You, you, you, are you Ji Yi? A subordinate of the Night King? Why are you here?"
While he was panicking, a scene appeared that made him collapse.
Emperor Qi Heng, dressed in royal robes, walked in surrounded by his guards.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty~~" Zhou Qian's face was full of surprise.
Everyone thought that Emperor Qi Heng was dead, but only he and his master knew that Emperor Qi Heng was not dead, but was rescued by Jiang You, a convict.
What does it mean that he suddenly appeared here now? And Lin Yi, the deputy general of the Red Flame Camp! It can only mean that Zhu Xiangyu was defeated and Jinzhou has been conquered by the Night King!
Thinking of this, Zhou Qian's eyes turned cunningly, he sat up from the ground, quickly knelt down in front of Emperor Qi Heng, hugged Emperor Qi Heng's thigh and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am sorry that I did not protect you. I made a mistake. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins."
He also thought that Emperor Qi Heng didn't know his true identity and was trying to get away with it.
Emperor Qi Heng kicked him away, took a step back in disgust, and turned to glance behind him.
"Queen, go over and take a closer look. See if this person is your good brother!"
Queen Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zhou Qian, staring at Prime Minister Zhou's face.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Isn't his face the face of my brother-in-law? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that."
When Zhou Qian saw that Queen Zhou had come, he knew that the palace must also be controlled by the emperor, and he didn't know what the situation was like on the master's side.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems with the master, and there shouldn't be any problems with the mother voodoo that can control people's hearts.
As long as he can keep his true identity from being exposed, everything can be reversed.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qian looked at Empress Zhou and burst into tears.
"Sister, I am your brother. Do you still remember when you were ten years old and your brother took you for an outing outside the city and was bitten by a snake? If your brother hadn't risked his life to suck the poison out of you, you would be so weak.
Is there a destiny?"
Empress Zhou saw that "Prime Minister Zhou's" appearance was exactly the same as that of his brother, and she became even more certain after hearing these old stories.
"Yes, he is my concubine's brother."
Emperor Qi Heng snorted coldly and kicked a wet rag at his feet towards Queen Zhou.
"Wipe his face clean before talking."
When Zhou Qian heard this, a flash of panic flashed across his eyes. His eyes covered by his disheveled hair kept turning around, and he had already thought of one hundred and eighty ways in his mind on how to deal with it.
But, he didn't come up with a way unless
Just as she was thinking about it, Queen Zhou picked up the rag and ordered, "Raise your head."
'Prime Minister Zhou''s face darkened and he slowly raised his head.
Empress Zhou brushed aside Prime Minister Zhou's messy hair, stretched out the rag and wiped it twice on Prime Minister Zhou's face, and saw that many wrinkles had disappeared.
With another touch, the gray beard fell off, and soon the wrinkled face turned into a young face in his twenties.
Empress Zhou stared at this face in shock, and her whole body froze.
After a while, he opened his blood-red eyes and grabbed Zhou Qian's arm, shaking it viciously.
"It's you, it's you, Zhou Qian! Where is the master? Where did you take the master? Tell me."
Zhou Qian sat paralyzed on the ground and let Queen Zhou shake, looking resigned to his fate.
Emperor Qi Heng looked at Empress Zhou and flicked her sleeves coldly.
"Your Zhou family actually let servants take the place of the prime minister to disrupt the court and commit such a heinous crime. How dare you, the queen, have the nerve to sit down?"
"When I return to the palace, I will immediately deprive you of your position as queen and throw you into death row to await your fate."
After Emperor Qi Heng finished speaking, he turned around and left, while Queen Zhou sadly threw herself at him.
"Your Majesty, I know nothing about this concubine. I am both a victim and my brother. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty~~"
The reason why she left the palace and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today was because someone reported that her brother, Prime Minister Zhou, "suddenly became seriously ill. She was anxious and went out of the palace to visit him. Who knew that as soon as she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was controlled by the imperial guards.
Afterwards, Emperor Qi Heng appeared in front of her. She thought that the emperor had died a few months ago, but to her surprise, he had not.
However, before she could accept these things, bigger blows came one after another. Her brother "Prime Minister Zhou" turned out to be a fake...
What happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty during this period? Why was she kept in the dark and knew nothing? Her legs went weak and she knelt down crying bitterly. Suddenly her neck felt cold and a dagger was pressed against her neck. (End of this chapter)
